Rumor Control

Last month some residents in Fort Worth received a robo call survey asking them to rank people in Fort Worth (no, we aren't kidding).  From what we understand the call asked about different people such as Clyde Picht and Dee Kelly, Jr.

Last week we heard a rumor Jim Lane was planning on running for Mayor.  The best response we saw to that was, Lord help us all.

Today the Fort Worth Star-Telegram confirms the rumor.  Let's hope the residents have learned something over the years.  Lane said he would focus on business.  WHEN will we have a mayor that focuses on citizens?  WHY would Lane not have to give up his seat on the Tarrant Regional Water District Board?  Is that a conflict?  Haven't there been others?  Sounds like some of the council doesn't want the "old guard" to change. 

And so does District 6 Councilman Jungus Jordan, who said he probably would have an interest in the job, but his chief concern is that the "same type of leadership stays intact" if Moncrief doesn't run.

What kind of leadership is that?
